The former name of the Well was Black Well or Brigid's Well. It is said that Mass used to be celebrated in the Dark Grove in this townland between the years 1580 and 1598.
The place was known as the Cemetery of Rathbride, was first used as a place of interment for Catholics at the period mentioned above. Upon the accession of James I, the Catholics built a small Chapel in the Cemetery but in 1605, it was razed to the ground by an armed force, at the instigation of Bishop Pillsworth, who, however, on his deathbed, gave expression to feelings of sincere regret for the part he took in that proceeding.
